+ ---help---
+ Say Y here if you wish to use the i.MXS app serial port as the
+ system console (the system console is the device which receives all
+ kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user
+ mode).
+
+ Even if you say Y here, the currently visible framebuffer console
+ (/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
+ you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
+ "console=ttySP1". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
+ your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
+ kernel at boot time.)
